In an Office LAN environment and have XP Pro. I want to know how I can get
to administrate our "server" computer from my "client" computer.

I can go from "manage" my computer and "connect to another computer". But
then for instance, I would like to go to "System Tools" - "Shared Folders" -
"Sessions" to see who is logged in and "Disconnect" when necessary.
I get the error message "Error 5: Access is denied."
How can I get access?
Thanks for any help!

Domain?
Workgroup?
Using an administrative account to connect to the "server"?
Don't want to use Remote Desktop/Terminal Services to remote into it?

Workgroup.
Remote Desktop Service is a possibiltiy but thought this was something I
should be able to do. Any ideas?
